June/July Beauty Buys

Here are my beauty buys for the months of June and July from SpaceNK, Primark, Ciate, Asos, Superdrug, Illamasqua, Topshop and Love-Makeup...phew! Some are sale buys because there are some amazing sales at the moment online and instore. The sales on Spacenk and Love-Makeup have been fantastic!

Primark: From Primark I bought two of the new Lip Smackers lip balms. I used to buy lip smackers balms from Claires accessories as a child and I loved them. The new ones have the old fashioned 90's Walls ice cream/ice lolly flavours that I loved growing up. I bought the Feast and Twister flavours and I love the packaging and the Feast flavour is just gorgeous - to smell, not to eat! They were £1.50 each which is a bargain as they are £3 in Topshop! 

SpaceNK: SpaceNK always have INCREDIBLE sales, I always buy a few things from their sales. This time round I bought the Diptyque Paira fragrance in the scent 'Vetyverio' which is similar to my beloved Prada Infusion D'Iris. This fragrance is 100ml and it was in the sale for...wait for it...£17! A gorgeous 100ml Diptyque fragrance for only £17, I had to get it and I am so glad that I did because it is a lovely fragrance. Full review coming soon.  

Ciate: A good few weeks ago (I ordered on the 30th June), Ciate were selling their polishes online for £4.50 each and I had a 30% off code too - I tweeted about this at the time so if you want to know about sales, offers or codes then you can follow me on Twitter because I usually post codes and sale info on there - twitter user name: ofbeautyand. Anyway, I bought four Ciate polishes and in total I paid just over £12, amazing! I bought Stiletto, Pepperminty, Iced Frappe and Red Hot Chili and I love all of them. Again a review coming asap. 

Love-Makeup: Lovemakeup (a fantastic website) had a sale on and again I tweeted about the sale. I bought the Becca Radiant Skin Satin Foundation in the lightest sale 'Porcelain' for only £9, it should have been around £38 - bargain! I have tried the foundation and a couple of times and I really like it so far. I also bought a Becca nail polish in the shade 'summerdaze' which is a lovely peach shade for £2.50. 

Asos, Superdrug, Illamasqua and Topshop: Finally some other bits and pieces from online shops. I bought a sale Topshop nail polish in the shade 'stardust' which is pretty on its own but it is annoying to remove. I bought one of the Rimmel Kate Moss nail polishes in the shade 'rock n roll' and I have to say I love the formula and brush of these polishes and I may have to get some more of them. From the Illamasqua sale I bought a lip pencil in the shade 'ascend' which is a gorgeous rosy shade that looks natural and pretty on the lips. Finally, I bought a hair dye from Superdrug, the Schwarzkopf Live XXL dye in the shade 'dark chocolate delight' which has to be the messiest hair due I have used. 

There are my beauty buys from the past couple of months, well a couple more have arrived today (oops). I hope you like this post, if you have any questions leave them in the comments below x

Week in photographs # 30

Well, this week has been a bit busy but amazing. My week has consisted of: lots of sale shopping, getting ready for holiday in 2 weeks, sunshine and...graduating from university! 

The main thing that happened this week is that I graduated from university - I made a separate post on the day so if you want to hear about my graduation and tips then click here. I was really nervous about graduation but it was great and I received the Zara office city bag as a present from my parents. 

The other main thing is week has been sale shopping and getting things for holiday. We are going on holiday from the 6th to the 20th August so I will have to create some posts to upload while I am away or I might ask some other bloggers to write guest posts. We went to Bury (The Rock) yesterday and I bought some things from Primark - including the two Lip Smackers Walls Lip Balms in the Feast and Twister flavours (£1.50). The Feast flavour is gorgeous and they are half the price in Primark when compared to Topshop. I also bought a pack of stud earrings for £2 which I love. This week I also bought some cheap Becca makeup, a super cheap Diptyque perfume from Spacenk (love their sale right now) and some nail polishes and clothes for holiday. There will be a few quick sale haul posts coming soon, along with some holiday packaging/travel posts. 

This week, until today, has been so sunny and hot at about 30 degree celsius which is really hot for England! The weather has been gorgeous! And I did treat myself to some cinnamon rolls and American mac and cheese after graduation, oops! Also I was featured in a blog post by Kayla Lee at Style Vancity so click here if you want to check out that post.

I hope everyone had a great week x
